Under-desk cable tray for a lab bench
Under-desk cable tray generated for a lab bench starts at 480 × 160 × 95 mm and 1.2 kg in Stainless steel 304 — €399 including VAT, delivered in about 9 working days, or €59 if you can wait 39. Heat-set inserts rather than self-tapping screws, because bench equipment is opened dozens of times a year and plastic threads strip after a handful. Fixings on the outside, and enough headroom for a scope probe to reach a test point.
What a lab bench actually demands
Bench hardware gets stacked, unplugged, re-plugged and knocked. It lives among instruments that cost more than a car and it has to be opened regularly by someone wearing gloves.

The starting point this page generated
Everything in the specification below was computed, not written. We passed “under-desk cable tray sturdy, taller, with more headroom” to the same generator the configurator uses, and this is what came back: a buildable under-desk cable tray with every dimension inside the range the partner factory has qualified.
It is a starting point, not a product. Change any parameter in the configurator and the mass, the price, the tolerances and the manufacturability findings all recompute before you order.
Why this one can ship in days
Because the part that carries your dimensions is made by sheet metal (laser + brake) — a process with no tooling to cut first. A mould would mean thirty-eight days before the first part existed; this starts the same day the order does.
General dimensions hold ISO 2768-m, which at this size means ±0.8 mm; the fits that matter carry explicit ISO 286 callouts in the table above. The batch lane makes the same geometry by moulding or nesting it in a production run and sends it by sea: €59 in about 39 working days.
